Play Ball!

Following a brief night of sleep at the brand-new Holiday Inn in Arlington, we were ready to see some baseball. Game time was 7:10 P.M., so we had most of the day to kill and spent it searching for highly-coveted yet affordable Yankees and Red Sox tickets. Going into this, we knew certain tickets would be pricey, so we planned to shell out the bucks for those and get cheap seats everywhere else. Little did I know I’d have to sell my left kidney to buy a ticket to the Yankees game. After rationalizing the price to MB (and myself)—this is Yankee Stadium’s last year, they’re playing the Angels, we’ll be part of history, you have another kidney—we successfully purchased tickets. Then it was off to the ballpark for a visit to the Legends Museum and the official start of our 30th-year tribute to baseball.
